Human brains were shaped over thousands of years of adaptation for warfare. Just look at how creative and advanced the tactics of other guerrilla forces (like the Taliban and Viet Cong) got, despite their very limited resources. None of that needs a high school education.

I agree with other commenters that the claims made in the report are strange.

We used to rely on our traditional methods. We sent 200 fighters because we had a lot of strength, but then 60 got killed. With the help of AI, we learned that it sometimes makes sense to only send 20. We learned more about well-coordinated attacks and deployment of smaller units.

The other quotes and use cases could make sense in terms of using AI jailbreaks to find information more easily, but this one is absolutely ridiculous. Did the clueless researcher just get trolled?

Composer 2.5 is 1T total/32B active (based on Kimi 2.5), while Elon publicly said Grok 4.5 is 1.5T parameters total. Hardly a different weight class.

The API cost difference is ~2.5x, probably because xAI has much higher costs to recoup.

How are you iterating on a system prompt and tool descriptions without an eval that gives you hard numbers for improvement or regression?

Do you have benchmarks comparing against Pi? The blog post doesn't include any hard numbers.

For example, so far I haven't seen any evidence that LSP integration improves performance for small models vs using grep via a bash tool.

[the comment was misinformed, deleted]

This doesn't require computer use, just a bash tool (and possibly fetch to get ffmpeg documentation)

If software engineering were truly solved, like Anthropic claims, anyone could just vibecode it back. If only they stopped being allergic to the word "open" and open-sourced Claude Code, which, at this point, there is no practical reason not to.

The kind of farm that would use AI is already 99% machinery and automation.

It looks like an output of one of those AI video editors that some (often vibecoded) startups use for their product launch videos. Just drop some assets in, and it spams witty taglines with dramatic transition effects.

This is what many AI supply-chain security startups (like the one that posted the article) are already doing with all NPM packages, so save yourself the Claude tokens. All of these compromises were detected within minutes, but it takes some time (<1 hour) for NPM to unpublish all of the affected packages.

The belief that there is some kind of market-impacting underground "wisdom of the crowd" to be found on all these public social platforms is an artifact of the GameStop craze that never went away.

I don't know how it could fail - Bun loses popularity among devs? Is it an objective metric? From what I understand, Node.js remains dominant across the industry as a whole, with Deno and Bun mostly used by startups.

Anthropic can always fire the Opus/Mythos token machine gun on any problem (bugs, features, security) to ensure PR success, and there would be plenty of AI-sphere startups already drinking the kool-aid that would consider the whole vibe-coding thing to Bun's benefit.

A bit off topic, but see how Anthropic publicity stunts went from "Claude C Compiler" with 100K LOC to the recent Bun Rust rewrite with 1M LOC (10x!) in just 3 months.

I get that it's "novel" creation vs porting, but given that they reported that the C compiler cost them $20k in API costs, the Bun rewrite must be at least $200k, maybe even closer to a million. Pure madness.

Your link states it's not supported in iOS Safari at all, even though it has been supported in macOS Safari since 2013.

Should be quick and easy with WebGPU, too.

Google MegaPixel!

Copilot is a legacy brand from 2021 (anyone remembers it's free beta? good times) when it was just a rudimentary autocomplete powered by GPT-3. I don't think it aligns with Microsoft's views and priorities now.

DRM is an optional Steamworks feature, the developer can opt out by simply not using it.

You are right, I misremembered this announcement [1]. They are switching from a 4-week to a 2-week release schedule this September.

Cool idea, but without longer-term tracking of how long each browser lags for each Chromium release, it's hard to draw any meaningful conclusions. It's also clear that in the case of major vulnerabilities, vendors would fast-track adoption of the patch.

I would definitely include the fact that "major" versions of Chromium are released every 2 weeks. For instance, Vivaldi is on version 146.0.7680.218 that released this Tuesday [1], only 5 days ago.

My bet is it's the day of the Super Bowl or the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Unfortunately, there is no way to use Google Pay on it. I'm all for trading some convenience for privacy, but not having to carry all my cards is too much of a convenience for me :(

With a free account, it needs to be reinstalled every 7 days because the signature expires. It's hardly convenient for personal use.
